Hi!

I'm faced with an unusual predicament... the WebCT server is down (where all my homework is posted), and has been since earlier this afternoon.  So I actually CAN'T do my homework.  Kind of nice, but kind of annoying.  I have class in an hour.  Yup.

So anyway, I'm just dropping by to say hi.  How the heck IS everyone?  What's going on in your lives?  What have you been eating lately?  As for me, it's been apples, cheese and pretzels.  

I just found out that the Food Basics around the corner from my apartment has Ben & Jerry's ice cream, and YES, Claire, they have plenty of that peanut butter cup kind. This might be the end of me!  Just kidding.  It's almost $7 - it won't become a habit.

What else, what else... I find I don't have much to say unless it's about music.  Isn't that sad?  Well, music or just something about the inner workings of my soul.  Hahaha... that's my life in a nutshell - music and excruciatingly deep inner healing processes.  

We could talk about... cats.  Sorry, but I don't like 'em much.  Or maybe about dogs... CLAIRE likes THEM.  Hahaha... we saw a movie preview about a dog movie, and while Gill and I were laughing and ridiculing the film, Claire was laughing in sheer delight.  It was classic.  And it wasn't even a LITTLE dog!  Oh no... are Claire and Ken going to get a dog?!?!?!?!?!?!  I'll NEVER visit. Ha!  Just kidding.  Of course I will.  I just won't eat any of your food ever again because there will be dog hairs in it.  And I'll wear disposable clothing because it will get hair and slobber all over it.  And I'll wear leather shoes and gloves so I don't get bitten by the little yapper.  Jusssst kidding, all you dog lovers.  I had a dog once, and I was wholeheartedly devoted to him. He was the best dog in the world (until he turned against me in a dream)!  But I'm still not a dog PERSON.  

I think you can actually be an amazing parent and adore your children, but not be a "kid person".  At least I'm hoping so.  Well, I know so.  I know tons of this breed.  And I know only ONE Jenn.  So more likely than not, most of us adore our kids but aren't "kid people".  I also firmly believe you can adore your children and hate cats.  One day I'll live that dream.  

Seriously though, I don't hate ANY animals, alright?  Not even cats!  But anyone getting offended by the cat remarks is probably wearing a pastel coloured sweatshirt with a cat silkscreened on it, or has cat dangly earrings on, or has a poster of a kitten somewhere in their house with a silly proverb on it.  I bet there's a rainbow on the cat sweatshirt, too... there's got to be.  No offense if that's you.  But if it is... WHOA.  I don't remember what the point of this paragraph was, but... WHOA.  I don't go walking around with treble and bass clef earrings, because THAT would be embarrassing.  I wonder how many people I'm offending?!  Hopefully zero-5.  I'm really just kidding.

You know what a pet peeve of mine is?  When people print music notes on things (say, party decorations or journals or whatever) and the notes are backwards.  Drives me nuts!!!  Who would PUBLISH something with incorrect notation on it?  How hard, really, would it be to find out which side the stems go on?

I'm running out of things to say.  I need homework!  Haha

Speaking of "haha", let it be known that I refuse to use "LOL".  It's so ridiculous.  Again, my apologies to the LOL people (and the LOL dog or cat people).  It took me years to figure out what it even meant.  As usual, I assumed it was something rude.  But it's not.  Lazy Old Lloyd.  What a weird expression.

Now, one thing I'd like is to see a cat laugh out loud.  Terrifying.  Even more terrifying would be a dog laughing out loud in a cat sweatshirt.

I'm going to go do something else.  Love you guys!
